An environmental assessment (EA) is an environmental analysis prepared pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act to determine whether a federal action would significantly affect the environment and thus require a more detailed Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).

The Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) Notification, 2006, is the governing legal instrument to grant green clearance for the establishment or expansion of an industry on the basis of the potential environmental impact of the project.

Environmental impact analysis is best understood as an early and special phase of a new approach to policy development that incorporates several analytic techniques in a process sometimes called "comprehensive impact analysis."

Concern about the impact of human activities on the environment we live in has been evident throughout history, e.g. in issues regarding public health, air pollution and water pollution (to name a few). For a summary of notable events influencing environmental change and management, go through this Table 1.

EIAs began to be conducted in the 1960s as a component of U.S. environmental policy. Over time, EIAs have moved from initially only assessing impacts on the natural environment, to integrating social and health impacts as well.

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a comprehensive evaluation of the potential effects that a project may have on the environment. It provides decision makers with information about the likely environmental consequences of their chosen policies and includes recommendations for mitigating and managing negative environmental impacts.

In 1979, the Environmental Impact Assessment Review was first published. It too, provides a forum for academics and practitioners to review the state of the art of impact assessment and’related fields. By 1983, most U.S. fed- eral agencies had formalized environmental and social impact assessment procedures in agency regulations.

2020年6月4日 · The premises of environmental impact assessment (EIA) lie in the Earth’s limited environmental carrying capacity (Mebratu 1998; Meadows et al. 2005; Rockström et al. 2009; Steffen et al. 2015), the concept of sustainable development (WCED 1987), and the rise of public environmental awareness and concern (Jay et al. 2007).

The origins of EIA can be traced back to the environmental movements of the 1950s and 1960s. The rapid pace of development and technological advancement during this time highlighted the need to manage the environmental impacts of unchecked development. Key thinkers, such as Rachel Carson who wrote Silent Spring, and Paul Erlich who wrote the ...
